It is a line he has used before. “I’ve served longer in the Senate, I’m almost embarrassed to admit, than all but 13 people in the history of the United States of America,” Biden said at an event last month in North Carolina.

But last night, Biden got his own history wrong—just as he did when he used the line last month.
